Pangarap ng Puso plot
While her parents dance, recite poetry and burst with passion, nine-year-old Nena is raised by a superstitious nanny who warns her of the demons in the jungle surrounding the mansion on the Philippine island of Necros. From that moment on, the girl is plagued by nightmares about sooty demons that cover her with earth and give her bubonic plague. The real demons are both Marcos' soldiers who plunder and murder through the jungle, and the bandits who pose as revolutionaries and take money from the people. Poor fisher boy José draws Nena's attention. She helps him with food and clothes, but he is too shy to talk to her. When Nena has grown up and become a combative, intellectual young woman, Nena and José fall in love after all. Not the obvious social differences, but the demons from the jungle stand in the way of their love.
